Look2daSky 0 #1 August 31, 2004 HI GUYS AND GALS, In 2001 at the age of 18 I had my first SL skydiving experience... I enjoyed it so much that I went for a second SL jump 2hrs later! UNFORTUNATELY, three weeks after this joyous experience TRADEGY STRUCK! My INSTRUCTOR died tragically in a skydiving accident when his Main shute and Reserve shute got entangled in doing a cutaway. He died in hospital hrs later due to internal bleeding. At first this scared the life out of me, but ever-since the first two jumps in 2001, the sport has been YELLING my name. I have finally decided that I want to make a come-back and train to be an AFF INSTRUCTOR. Maturing and getting an understanding that DEATH is PART of LIFE REALLY GOT ME THROUGH THAT INNITIAL FEAR... I LIVE IN SOUTH AFRICA NEAR CARLTONVILLE, MY INITIAL JUMPS WERE DONE AT WONDABOOM, IF THERE IS ANYONE THAT KNOWS THE LOCAL DZs. PLS INFORM ME WHICH IS A BETTER OPTION. THANX. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LFE's A JOURNEY, ENJOY THE FLIGHT!!
